Resigning Boozer Jazz's top priority

I'd love to be a fly-on-the-wall in KoC's office during his talks with Boozer & his agent. Do NOT want him back; obviously a S & T would be great... I follow the Magic too. Definitely like Courtney Lee; he was a teammate of our 2nd rounder, Jeremy Evans. Solid all-round BB player, in the mold of Wes Matthews.

You follow the Magic and you do not know that Courtney Lee got traded to the Nets in the Vince Carter trade.

Maybe he just meant he was a fan of Lee while he was with Orlando. There have been rumors about S&T with Lee's current team, the Nets. I'm probably giving him to much credit.
 
KOC has to keep the PR spin positive with Boozer no matter how they feel about him. Even if they don't want him Jazz have to get his approval for any S&T that might come along. Also if Boozer doesn't get an offer he likes, Jazz need to keep the door open to resigning him. Many reasons to publicly say Jazz really want Boozer back.



Nope. No PR spin, no posturing, no positioning, no prepping, Kevin O'Connor is just flat out incompetent. The man has indelibly proved that for 11 years running and yet there are still people trying to find excuses for him. Incredible to me how much people will take before they say enough is enough.

You REALLY think Whiteside can guard Gasol?? You wanted them to pick him @ 9 When he went where in the draft? You're such a joker....you.

Whiteside needs to put on weight and get lower and play position defense, but yes, he can disrupt Paul Gasol better than anyone we have aside from Fess. Whiteside went in the draft where he did because he and his agent wouldn't have him work out for any team outside the lottery. It was a bad move. When the late lotto teams picked the wings and PFs, no one really had a read on Whiteside except for the horrible press he was getting. Sacramento, who had worked him out head-to-head with Udoh and Monroe, snapped him up in the 2nd round and is now very happy that they did. Good luck getting Sacto to trade Whiteside.
 
I think KOC is just looking for a fat nice trade exception for Boozer and future 1st. None of the teams targeting Boozer have any pieces we need or at least are willing to give up:

NJ: Lopez and Favors no chance
Chicago: Absolutely no one we want
NY: Lee, but he plays Milsap's position and too expensive
Miami: Beasley, slight interest given he still has upside

NJ: Yi, Lee, TPE, futures rds, Damion Jones...
Chicago: Taj Gibson, James Johnson, TPE, futures rds...
NY: Wilson Chandler, Gallinari, Toney Douglas, TPE, futures Rds ( the best option? )
Miami: Beasley, TPE or futures Rds

Most important of that is start 2011-2012 with 40 or 50 Millions $ payroll ( and Okur 10,890 expiring ) and young, NEW and good team ( ?¿?¿ :rolleyes: ):

DWill
C.J.Miles
Matthews
G. Hayward
P. Milsap
Ante Tomic
Maybe Fesenko... 3M$
Maybe Kirilenko... 8M$
Memphis Pick
Utah Pick
And players or assets of the sign and trade of Boozer... ( maybe Gibson or Wilson Chandler or future rounds )

KOC> TGBE

Please explain to me why you feel he has been incompetent for 11 years?
 
The idea that anyone available at #9 in the draft would help us with the Lakers length is laughable. Cousins would've been the only player that could make an impact right away, and thats still a maybe.

I'm sure getting the Boozer situation squared away is their top priority and it better be. Either signing him or addressing our length problem with a S&T is a must this summer, and I hope to god it happens.

I liked Millsap's performance against the Lakers, he went in with no fear. He did get bothered a lot but he never stopped attacking, where as Boozer pretty much folded.

A S&T with Boozer for a real center and a backup PF would be my dream summer scenario. I hope KOC and the Jazz can make it happen.

So they want to keep him huh? Well with the horrible draft they had, they are kinda of stuck resigning him if they want to make the playoffs next year. The fact though O'Connor realizes that the Lakers's players causes the Jazz length and size problems, makes it even more mindbogglingly that the Jazz did nothing in the draft to fix that, and now we are going to keep one of those players that gives us that disadvantage against them. Does the front office even care about winning a championship?
No they don't give a ****. Get to the playoffs and they make their money, why should they care about a title their not fans their business people.

I watch I would not call it support any longer. I watched 10 games max this year before the playoffs and have not paid for anything regarding the Jazz in 4 years. I won't financially support this team again until they show that they care in some way or other.

As far as watching? It cost me nothing extra and I have the time.

I might just stop watching the NBA though. I only watch for the Jazz. 99% of the NBA games are unwatcheable. I saw 1 finals game this year the 1st I've seen in full since the Jazz were last there.

I will cry if Loozer is resigned. The Pony needs to start. He's better than Carlos. Loozer is just a cancer.

I'm pretty sure Boozer wasn't born in July.
 
Paul George could help to defend Lamar Odom. I'm not so sure that hayward can do that.

Trading for Cousins would've helped. Looks like they could've done so, but it would've meant not being able to afford Boozer.

You have information that says the Jazz could have traded for Cousins but opted not too? I'm interessted in that data.
 
That cheap-*** S2 coulda traded me for my 40, but it's too late now. I done guzzled it. And ya know what? I'm glad he didn't take my offer for $1 million cash money, that's what.

Rumor has it they wanted to trade up with NJ but not sure what the asking price was, probably bad contracts coming back to Utah.

Nah, the rumor is KOC was on the psychic hot line all night trying to contact LHM and missed NJ's call to finalize the deal. It goes to show you how cheap the jazz are that they wont pay for call waiting.

People will have you believe that's why we don't have Cousins!

There's a huge difference between the team and the front office. You can support the team and not support the front office.
